What is your opinion on the state of the world now and give us your reasons why it needs to be improved? Watch Craig Barrett's response »On Wednesday, Richard Edelman, President and CEO of the Edelman PR firm, responded to the following question from the European Tribune blog:

Businesses still seem to be on the sidelines during the U.N. international climate negotiations. Lowering global carbon emissions relies on creating a new low carbon economy, so should businesses have a greater role in putting together a post-2012 climate change plan? If so, how could businesses best aid negotiations / If not, why not?-- Climate Change Corp

When I was in China two months ago I noticed the extreme pollution, but I also noticed that they were copying western consumer habits (like buying American SUVs). How can we convince the rest of the world to fix their pollution problems when we can't even convince Americans to buy smaller electric cars? --Scobleizer

Should we be more concerned with the concept of what Margaret Thatcher used to call "sound money" than trying vainly to spend our way out of a recession?-- Iain Dale's Diary

With the World Economic Forum taking place in Davos and the rival World Social Forum being hosted in Brazil, do you think there is a need for a middle ground to be found between these radically different groups? Can such a middle ground be found? -- From Davos to Seattle

What is the best way for society to deal with the looming demographic time bomb which will place great pressure on government finances? -- Economics Help

At this time of financial crisis, global conflict and climate change, what can be done to inspire the hope that sustainable living is possible and even positive? -- Ethical Superstore

On a finite planet, is it not impossible for most of us to achieve fulfillment and happiness through material consumption, and will many of our children and grandchildren even have the opportunity to make that choice if we go on with our current ways of being? Is it not time to leave the very concept of 'economic growth' behind? -- Transition Culture

Right now many countries have in essence guaranteed their major banks as "too big to fail." How will we move back to a system where such guarantees are not so absolute? -- Marginal Revolution

What opportunities for solving climate change does the financial crisis present? -- Greenpeace

The proper role of business in a democratic society is to serve the public (and future generations, through care for the environment and the state the world is passed down to them) and not to lead it. But business has often, in times of crisis, found itself in a natural alliance with authoritarian and populist states. So what can Davos do in these multiple crises (finance, energy, environment, poverty) to avoid comfortable alliances with authoritarianism and promote a democratic positioning of business and its role in wider society? -- Open Democracy
